(a)
To determine: What mass of octane
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Write the balanced nuclear reaction.
Mass of reactant
Mass of product
Negative sign indicated so mass convert into energy so energy is released.
Energy released on one atom fission of
Putting these values we get,
Energy released per atom of
No. of atoms in
So energy released in fission of
Combustion of octane
So no of moles released
Mass of moles
Mass of octant
(b)
To determine: the amount of gallons of octane in this
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Volume of octane
Hence gallons of octane required
